Timepieces & Movements

Bridges, rotors and plates, at the scale where a loupe is not optional.

Movement work is measured in tenths of a millimetre and viewed at ten times magnification. The client will inspect it under a loupe, because that is the only way it is ever seen, and so every decision is made at that scale rather than at arm's length.

Rotors are the most requested piece: a skeletonised or solid oscillating weight, usually gold or tungsten-loaded, marked or ornamented on the visible face. Balance matters. Material removed off axis has to be accounted for or the movement's amplitude suffers.

All movement work is arranged with the client's watchmaker. The studio does not open, service or reassemble movements. Parts arrive dismounted and are returned dismounted, in the same tray.
